.SH NAME
ldd \- print shared library dependencies
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B ldd
.RB [\-drv]
[OPTIONS...]
[FILE ...]
.SH DESCRIPTION
This is the 
.B ldd
command, which lists what shared libraries are
used by given dynamically-linked executables.  It works by invoking the
run-time dynamic linker as a command and setting the environment
variable LD_TRACE_LOADED_OBJECTS to a non-empty value.
If a shared library name does not contain a '/',
.B ldd
attempts to locate the library in the standard locations.
To run
.B ldd
on a shared library in the current directory, a "./" must be prepended
to it's name.
